PSA: Colorblind Glasses That Actually Work!
Basically, it all started on my 16th birthday. I got my driver's permit and started learning how to drive when it hit me: I legit couldn't make out the red lights. I have a very strong version of protanomaly (the kind where red looks like brown and black while green and cyan sometimes look like white or light gray), so you could imagine the pain when I try to make out a red traffic light against the black box holding it up. Yeah, it didn't end well. I also typically didn't pick up on people's brake lights when they lit up (thanks whoever's great idea it was to make those red). Overall, while I learned to adjust, I still tended to have a 2-second delay every time I needed to pick up on a red cue and didn't simply because I needed time to figure out what was going on. I guess this is why it's illegal for colorblind people to drive in Australia.
